Phone call #2...

This past Saturday we had another Skype video call with the kids. They can see us but we can't see them yet but that will change by the end of the month when a web cam is being sent down for the "O". Samara didn't talk much the last time so I thought we would engage her by singing her favorite "English" song which is "This is the day that the Lord has made." It didn't really work well. She did sing a little with us at the end but Sandy said she was smiling at the screen. You could hear Shakira in the background singing a little. Sandy said she was up dancing around. They both told us that they loved us & that was so good for our ears & hearts :o) Sandy didn't put the head phones on Caleb this time but she did bring him in to look at our faces. He is crawling all over the place & trying to walk. Samara is doing very well. Sandy suspects Shakira may have a corn allergy so she's going to keep an eye on that but other than that is doing well. She said that her attention span is increasing & she's sitting still for longer periods of time. Sandy is also working with her on potty training which is so wonderful! It would be great if she was potty trained before she came home. Four of my close friends are going on the Feb. mission trip to the "O" & although I would love to be able to go with them, I am content on having them love on my children for me & taking some pictures of them.
